  1. Both sentences are very 'heavy' and bad English.

    1 Things can not be thought of. Would a table think differently from a bed? Or is it a person thinking of the table and the bed.  Of course - different.

    2. The difference is in the things not the thought.  Thus the difference is the fact, and can not be thought of difference.

    Peace.


  2. Without context I will assume that they are NOT the same.

    A few points would be what is meant by the term thought.

    What is meant by the term things.

    1 and 2 could mean the same thing but it would depend.

  3. No

    numbers 1 is stating that thing are though in different ways

    whereas number 2 states that the thoughts being thought are different from each other thought.

  4. No, 1 says what u perceive or think is different whereas 2 says different things which u perceive or think are not same.

  5. No they aren't the same. 1 means that different things are thought about differently and 2 means that different things are thought to be different as in they are different becasue people think they are different
